Hiring in franchising often becomes decentralized as systems grow, which can lead to inconsistent practices, uneven service delivery, and costly turnover. Without clear hiring resources available, franchisees may rely on intuition, creating wide variation in candidate quality across units. This session addresses how franchisors can implement scalable, easy-to-use hiring frameworks that protect brand standards while still giving franchisees flexibility. We’ll also explore how using psychmetric assessments, such as the McQuaig suite, can bring structure and objectivity to the process, helping both franchisors and franchisees identify the right people with confidence. Attendees will learn how to balance consistency with autonomy, reduce hiring mistakes, and create alignment across the network, ultimately improving performance and customer experience system-wide.
